School/Community Funds

Several local school districts/communities have chosen to partner with the Community Foundation to establish charitable funds that provide an additional source of support for new and ongoing projects that specifically address local needs. These partnerships take a variety of forms, and offer local citizens a way to support their schools.

Galway Support Our Schools (S.O.S.) Fund – The Galway S.O.S. Fund is composed of local community members, educators, and administrators committed to the education of Galway students and enriching the Galway community.

Greenville Educational Foundation Fund – to enrich the overall educational process of the Greenville School District by funding programs that traditionally are not or would not be financed through local tax dollars or other public resources reflected in the annual school budget.

North Colonie/Shaker Community School Foundation Fund – to fund the administrative expenses, special projects, and grants to members of the North Colonie educational community to enhance and support the educational mission of the North Colonie Central School District.

Scotia-Glenville Education Foundation – to support, enhance and promote educational opportunities that are innovative and supplemental to school resources for all students in the Scotia-Glenville Central School District.
